The poll was conducted from Sept. 27-29, beginning the day after the first presidential debate. The poll surveyed 501 likely New Mexico voters and contained a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percent. All of the poll respondents were questioned by live interviewers, with 52 percent of respondents reached by cellphone and 48 percent on land lines.

Looks like there's a huge disconnect between the hype of the Hillary fetishists this week and the real world and actual voters ... hopefully Hillary is not in for a rough surprise on election night when the actual votes are counted, not just those of her out-of-touch supporters and the media pundits.

The doesn't make it less insufferable.

Your HHB remains quite sad.

I also don't but for a SECOND that this is anywhere near the likely result.

Johnson could conceivably win a county or two with numbers like that. Fascinating.

More than likely inflated. A PPP poll of New Mexico prior to the 2012 election has Johnson at 24 points. He ended up getting less than 4.

That poll was taken in December of 2011. It's not comparable to a poll taken a month and a half before the election. His numbers may go down, but they won't drop to 4%. Hell, I doubt his nationwide numbers will go down to 4%.

Ah, so Hillary supporters are the real problem, nevermind the substantial minority of this country right now that is enthusiastic for someone like Donald Trump. I've always respected a lot of what you've had to say on various topics, but this is not funny. You may not like Hillary Clinton, but she's actually tried to accommodate Bernie supporters (not to mention having his strong and unwavering support). Let me put this in simple terms: a Clinton landslide with downballot coattails means a strong progressive agenda actually gets signed into law, a narrow Clinton victory basically means Democratic domination in the federal judiciary for a generation and continued control of executive agencies, and a Trump victory is pretty self-explanatory I think.

With that said, in the end, I don't think Gary Johnson will get above 15% in any state when all is said and done.

as was explained this week once again, debates like the first one of 2016 or the first one of 2012 make supporters of the losing candidate less likely to participate in surveys for some days....which results into making a poll-winning-margin even bigger.

this is very much the "real" world - it's just not some kind of final truth at the moment and could still change.

And while I don't deny that a result showing Clinton up by more would be desirable, why exactly are we so concerned? She is winning after all. I don't see Johnson gaining any more in NM. In electoral college system it doesn't matter if you win by 1% or by 50% you get all the votes. If he does get 25% of the vote and she still wins it will linger forever on some Wikipedia page, but that's about it.

Also, is there really that much support for Johnson among Hispanics as this poll is suggesting?
